==In ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]''==

Mr Dark appears as a playable character, being unlocked by completing the game and getting every [[collectible]]. He simply functions as a skin of [[Rayman]] and plays in the exact same way as him, although his animations and projectiles appear different.

He simply functions as a skin of [[Rayman]] and plays in the exact same way as him, although his animations and projectiles appear different.

Instead of the [[Telescopic Fist]], Mr Dark shoots his magic projectiles, which take a unique appearance depending on which fist power-up the player has found or if Mr Dark charges his shot long enough.

To glide, Mr Dark simply emits some dark energy from his cloak, and he can shape-shift his body into simply his head and his feet in order to crawl.

Line 32:

Line 34:

His original ambiguous transformations into three hybrids of the previous bosses have been replaced by [[The Dark Chimera|the Dark Chimera]], an amalgamation of his minions created by his powers and fought right before him in {{rr|Mr Dark's Dare}}.

Mr Dark has two transformations in this game gained through the powers of the [[Great Protoon]]: Darker Mr Dark and Darkest Mr Dark, the first being the final boss fought in [[The End of the World]] and the latter being an optional secret boss and the ultimate opponent in the [[True Boss Rush]].

During his first battle, Mr Dark is protected by some magic shields as a reference to his appearance in {{rw|Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman''}}, and he uses many attacks both old and new. He becomes vulnerable when attacking in his spheric form, bouncing on the walls very similarly to [[Multi Minion]] from ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'', which is also a reference to the similar phase in {{rw|Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of ''Rayman''}}.

Mr Dark is fought twice in the [[Boss Rush]], first in his normal form and then in his Darker Mr Dark appearance. He has to be defeated in harder versions of both of these forms as well as his secret Darkest Mr Dark transformation in the [[True Boss Rush]].

Line 59:

'''Darkest Mr Dark''', also known as '''Mr Void''', is the second transformation of Mr Dark fought immediately after his Darker form in the [[True Boss Rush]], acting as a secret final boss fought in an unknown dimension of intense darkness. It takes the appearance of a cloud of ever-flowing darkness with a big pair of furious yellow eyes, flying next to a swollen up and corrupted [[Great Protoon]] which turned grey and black and is surrounded by dark orbs acting as a shield similarly to those used by Mr Dark in his normal form. It is a hypothetical form which Mr Dark could have achieved should he have successfully entirely corrupted the [[Great Protoon]] and merged with it, becoming a pure vortex of void and darkness.

As a result, Mr Dark's powers are increased to a nearly ~~godly~~ degree, being able to use ~~its~~ previous abilities in a more powerful and accurate way and even more relentlessly. [[Rayman]] must fight him while riding [[Bzzit]], the latter's speed, firepower and ability to fly being more than required to compete with such a mighty foe.

The Great Protoon and the orbs become increasingly redder as Darkest Mr Dark takes damage.

The [[Great Protoon]] and the orbs become increasingly redder as Darkest Mr Dark takes damage.

Due to this form resembling a sinister spirit, it is also slightly reminiscent of {{rw|Mr Dark}}'s ghostly shape as it appeared once defeated at the end of {{rw|Rayman (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color version of the original ''Rayman''}}.

==Trivia==

* Mr Dark's final battles and transformations in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' are reminiscent of the [[Dark Storm]] from ''[[Rayman: The Dark Magician's Reign of Terror]]'', as both are beings embodying "great darkness" and are ultimately fought in the skies of [[The Valley|the Valley]].

* Mr Dark's final forms in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' are inspired by some final bosses from the Kirby franchise.

* Mr Dark's final forms in ''[[Rayman Redemption]]'' are inspired by some final bosses from the Kirby franchise, namely Nightmare.

* Concept arts for Darkest Mr Dark depicts the transformation with different features, such as a unique giant eye merged with the [[Great Protoon]], or giant floating hands with clawy fingers.
